New project with double garage. Concerns about replacing low-slope truss. (pictures)

[Jewhan Linder]

Hello

I am sketching out a new garage to replace the carport we have today.

Split-level house with a built-in garage on the basement level (2 m high interior dimensions) and a carport right outside.
Planning to replace the carport with a double garage and pour a slab.

I have made several sketches on how it could turn out and have come up with a shed roof with a slope away from the house. Attaching some pictures so you get an idea of what I'm thinking. There will be underfloor heating and an insulated garage, so also insulation in the ceiling.

I will have a span of 6.5-7 meters and a depth of 9.2 m.
10-degree slope
Still not entirely sure about the measurement.

I will try to create a loft at the very back of the garage, approximately 2.4-3 m deep, to have a desk and small items. Not for any major weight. But the roof trusses will be in the way.... or?

So to my question.. When it comes to shed roof/low-pitched roof, I only get triangular-shaped trusses in the calculations, but maybe thicker beams would suffice?

Could self-supporting trp sheet be an option?
I have seen it used on shed roofs with large spans.

I am sketching a new garage to replace the carport we have today.

Sutteränghus with a built-in garage on the basement level (2 m high inner dimension) and a carport just outside.
I want to replace the carport with a double garage and pour a slab.

I have made several sketches of how it might turn out and have come to a slanted roof with a slope away from the house. Attached are some pictures to give you an idea of what I'm thinking. It will have underfloor heating and an insulated garage, so insulation will also be in the roof.

I will have a span of 6.5-7 meters and a depth of 9.2 m.
10-degree slope
Not entirely sure about the measurement yet.

I'm going to try to create a loft at the back of the garage about 2.4-3 m deep to have a desk and small things. Not for any significant weight. But the roof trusses will be in the way.... or?

How has the construction gone? I am working on a similar build and I will be using glulam beams. Calculation programs are available on the web. Search for "Svenskt Trä".
